Tottenham Hotspur

Match Time & Date:

19/09/2017

20:00 GMT

Prediction: 3-0

Barnsley

After dropping two points in Saturday’s Premier League game against Swansea City, Tottenham will be looking to give fans some cheer when they host Barnsley at Wembley Stadium in the League Cup round 3. Spurs aim to kick off their League Cup campaign in style and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at the Championship side. Harry Kane was more than unfortunate not to find the net in the goalless draw with the Swans, but the English attacker is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition back line in Tuesday’s football match. Barnsley experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Aston Villa at the weekend and they are unlikely to spoil Tottenham’s party at Wembley Stadium. You should bear in mind that Barnsley are after their first ever win over Spurs in a competitive match.

Highligted Player (Lloris):

Hugo Lloris is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world of football. The French international was born on 26 December, 1986 and he began his senior career at Nice in 2002. After spending six years with les Aiglons, Hugo Lloris signed a contract with fellow Ligue 1 side Lyon in 2008. The 29-year-old goalkeeper made 146 appearances for the French giants, but in 2012 he moved to London. Tottenham Hotspur completed the deal for the impressive shot-stopper on 31 August, 2012 for a fee of €10 million and €5 million variable and, no doubt, he made a right decision when he decided to join the White Hart Lane outfit. Speaking of his individual awards, Hugo Lloris was named Ligue 1 Goalkeeper of the Year on three occasions (2008/2009, 2009/2010 and 2011/2012). The 188-cm-tall goalkeeper earned his 82nd cap for the French national team in the Euro 2016 final against Portugal. However, Eder’s goal spoiled the party of les Tricolores at Stade de France.

Highlighted Team (Barnsley):

Barnsley are an English club nicknamed the Tykes. The club was founded in 1887 and it has to be noted that they spend more seasons in the Championship than any other club in the history. The Tykes played in the Sheffield and District League from 1890, but in 1895 they were part of the Midland League. Barnsley play their home games at Oakwell, the stadium that was built in 1887. The capacity of the stadium is 23,009 and it was opened back in 1888, just one year after the club’s foundation. The Tykes made it to the FA Cup final in 1910, but Newcastle United proved to be a big catch for the Oakwell outfit in the title game. Nonetheless, Barnsley won the FA Cup trophy in 1912 and that is considered the club’s biggest success. Barnsley defeated West Bromwich Albion in the two-legged tie (0-0, 1-0) to clinch the prestigious trophy for the first and only time in their history.
